What the petition asks

we want our young people to have regular access to know about the homelessness issue thats plaguing our country right now we want the kids of today to learn about the problem and to have a better start in life for them to know and understand so they arent left in the dark about these issues

because kids need to know about this stuff they need to know about the real world issues that people are facing and not even necessarily just adults that are facing it, its effecting our young people kids that are sleeping on the street as well or are living in temporary accommodation . in 15 years time the kids of today could be sleeping on the streets and its important that they know theres resources out there for them if they are ever facing these issues
